A valentine for Cleopatara

 

My lovely Cleopatara! your eyes

Were deep-lit jewels of Paradise

 

Your hair a swift, sleek flow of sheeny jet

Your lips, soft ruby pillows laid for dream.

Your breasts twin, mystic, desert temples set

To guard the impassioned royal heart between.

Harry - there should definitely be more poetry about Liz's assets, rather than her acting ability!

Thanks all for the comments.

Robert, what you say has made me realise that I`ve not quite `got` what Liz`s Cleopatara was about...How about : instead of the last two lines:

Your breasts soft breathing sanctuary temples set
To guard the impetuous, passionate heart between.

Thanks for inspiring me (and getting the sand out of them):)

Harry - me thinks you speak of the Liz Taylor characterisation of Cleopatra. What a beauty!

If it still works, Harry, you should use it (both poetically and anatomically speaking).
